I prefer not to do that, running with a mixture of old+new things from
ports/packages is not really supported, and listing version specs can
be a pain in the event we have to bump EPOCH (because they are then
no longer comparable).
For ports which I touch, I may list a protective _maximum_ version if
it's likely to cause a problem (to avoid accidents when updating other
ports - or to at least make them more obvious as a build rather than
runtime error), I may list a range when there are multiple versions
of the same software in the tree and the dependency needs to be on a
specific version of that, but I won't usually add a minimum version
check unless it's a special case.
